PEACHES BADLY HURT.
The Freeze Proves More Disastrous
Than was First Believed.

The Freeze Proves More Disastrous
Than was First Believed.
The Savannahians who eat peaches dur
ing the coming summer will doubtless
have to pay more for the luxury than they
have been accustomed to pay. The frost
last week was much more disastrous and
damaging than was first supposed, in
many parts of the peacn-grO wing sections
and in some fruit orchards scarcely a
peach, pear or plum escaped.
The fruit men in this city have received
advices from their correspondents and
most OF them say that the damage is very
heavy. Commissioners OF Agriculture
Henderson has sent out in
quSries in regard TO the condition
of the crop and has received several
replies. Some or these differ as TO the
extent of the damage, but all agree that
il has been heavy. Where the fruit is not
wholly killed itswill he set back and the
maturing will be very slow.
The peach crop is variously estimated
from one-eighth to quarter, and in some
sections one half. A Camilla dispatch
says taat within the past day or two the
pros pecJ has changed there for the worst.
There will be, IL adds, possibly half a
peach crop, The LeConte pear crop is
big failure. Tho melons up are injured
and killed, according 10 locality. But
few are up in Mitchell county of the 'sec-
ond" planting, winch was about ten days
after the frost, aud growers are hopeful of
a stand from the two paintings. Corn that
Is up Is sickly, and oats have a rusty APP
pearance. The best authority In different
localities seems to testify that the injury
il considerable, and that, IL not wholly
killed, the fruit crop will be found TO be
badly damaged.

Y. If. G. AS RECEPTION.

The Associate Members Enter
tanned at the Association Rooms.
The first reception Tor the associate
members of the Young Mems Christian
Association was held last night at the as
ISOLATION rooms, and WAS well attended.
The reception feature was started two
weeks ago when the active members held
one.
Mr.. Clayton p. Miller, the associations
President, directed the musical part of
The entertainment, which was inter-
spersed with short addresses by himself
and others. Several songs were rem
dered. Mr. Miller spoke of the dis
unctions between the active and assOci-
ate members, The former, he explained,
are members OF some Christian church,
while the latter are moral young men,
but non-church members, Ehe associate
members have all the privileges of the
rooms and can join the stenOgraphlc. lit
erary or gymuastic class just the same
as tue active members. One ObJ5ct OF the
receptions Is to show that Christians can
ENJOY rational pleasures OF life as well as
worldly people, the President remarked.
Several converts from the associate mem
bersnip have been made since the asso-
citation started, he added.
MIR. j. T. Erater. the secretary, spoke
OF what had been accomplished in the
way OF providing attractions. The read
ing room, said be, can boast of larger
list OF papers and magazines than any
other association in the South, having
about 100 daily, weekly and monthly
periodicals on the tables. He concluded
by urging the associate members TO try
to get others to join and to invite their
friends to visit the rooms, which are
always open to visitors.
Mr.. James Earle, Jr., gave some
"reminiscences OF bis experience with
Young Mems Christian Associations. He
had found that they are OF advantage
from business point Of view, and ne
told how they had been so with him In
England, Scotland aud the United States.
Whenever he goes to a strange place he
looks up the Young Mems Christian
Association as soon as possible, and he
observed that he had found that be could
spend an evening more enlJYably and
pleasantly in the reading rooms OF an
association than sitting on trunk in
boarding house.
Mr.. f. w. Maher gave an organ recital
and Mr.. Miller vocal solo. After the
musical part of the programme was over
refreshments were served by the ladies'
committee.

TO GO OVER UNTIL FALL.

Die Congress Street Improvement
III to be Deferred Uni. October.
Mr. f. W. White, representing the
karren-Scharr Asphalt Pavement Com.
Fuy, who has been in Savannah during
Lac winter in the company's interests,
kseft last night for the North. A strong
effort was made by the Congress street
property owners to induce the City Coun-
Gil TO 90 ahead with the paving Of that
street this spring.
Several petitions were presented urging
the necessity for the work and that 1t be
done at once. The measure hung fire in
Council. The petitioners were referred
first 10 the Street and Lane Committee
and then to a committee OF the whole,
and at the last meeting further time was
asked in which TO make final report.
This was granted and the matter was de.
layed another two weeks.
IL is now too late to do the work this
spring, and it will have to 20 over, any
way, until fall. The committee was not
fully satisfied in regard TO al OF the sigma
lures on the petition asking
for the Improvement and de-.
sired time in which to look
into the matter thoroughly before
taking any definite action. Ii the petit
lions are all right the ordinance authoriz.
ing the Improvement, which was intro
duced at the last meeting by Alderman
Thomas, will probably be passed at the
next meeting. Bids will then be adver.
tised for and the contracts awarded, so
that the work can be started as early In
the fall as the Sanitary Commission will
permit the upturDIng OF the street.
The Warren-Scharff Company will bid
fx the contract. The signers OF the pc
tftion are unanimously in favor OF the
sheet asphalt pavement, and IL will doubt
less be decided upon by the Council. IL
10 understood that very nearly the entire
board Is now in favor OF the proposed i'm
provement.

Senator Brown, President of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad, says In regard
to the railroad pass question:: 1.-The in
terstate commerce bill does not interfere
with any railroad issuing a pass to any
point within the State in which the rail-
road is doing business. 1t does attempt
to interfere with Issuing passes from one
State to another. AS to what viii be
done about long distance passes / have
not yet determined, but clearly l can
issue passes over the Western and At
lantlc railroad as far as the State line
without any evasion of the interstate
bill. doubt if l can issue pass from
Atlanta to Chattanooga without in some
way getting around the provisions of the
bill"
The Georgia Pacific road, it Is under
stood, has already provided stamp on
which free tickets are issued as far as the
State line from Atlanta. From Birming-
ham they are issued up to the Georgia
line. 1t would seem that all that is
necessary in future is for an editor or a
legislator to get pass for each State
through which he desires to travel.
